We manufactured this tilt frame assembly through a combination of laser cutting, welding, and grinding. The frame assembly, widely used to mount street sweeping equipment to a cab and chassis, needed a weld fixture to accommodate the required tolerances. Using CAD/CAM software, our team designed custom fixtures for the assembly. After 3-D modeling, we laser cut the custom fixtures to attain tolerances of +/- 0.010". Based on customer specification, the 114.54" x 56.65" tilt frame assemblies were fabricated from hot rolled, pickled, and oiled steel sheets. Prior to delivery, the frame assemblies were coated with 3 mil thick polyurethane powder to obtain a semi-gloss white finish.

Product Description

This is a laser cut frame assembly used to mount street sweeping equipment to a cab and chassis. The initial challenge for this assembly was creating weld fixture to accommodate the tolerances. We accomplished this by designing fixtures with our CAD/CAM software. From there we were able to laser cut fixtures to obtain the desired tolerances.
